In that mode Claude Code now skips:\n\n- writing the global config and project config\n\n- creating the fallback storage folder\n\n- backing up a damaged config file\n\nBefore, these were written regardless.\n\n**Why**\n\nSessions started this way, likely by SDKs or hosted setups, no longer leave config files behind on the machine.\n\n- Area: SDK\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
